Yet another option now that Roslyn is available:

You can use CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Scripting library for this.

using Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Scripting;
using System;

namespace ExpressionParser
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Demonstrate evaluating C# code
            var result = CSharpScript.EvaluateAsync("System.DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1) > System.DateTime.Now").Result;
            Console.WriteLine(result.ToString());

            //Demonstrate evaluating simple expressions
            var result2 = CSharpScript.EvaluateAsync(" 5 * 7").Result;
            Console.WriteLine(result2);
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}
